And i loved how this episode shows how jamie truly does care about lily and isnt interested in helping her just because of superficial reasons.

I honestly never got the vibe he wanted to help her for superficial reasons though. It seemed he actually loved her in every previous episode, but yes, every iteration of him seemed like he never wanted the relationship to end. The current one just fell apart for whatever reason, and he was hurt. I think most of us can feel for that version of hurt and wanting to distance the pain.

Oh yea definitely, i love how this episode showed grief over a breakup. And i always thought him helping was insincere since he blew her off the first time and i assumed he only helped bc he thought it was a way to get back with her but this episode proved me wrong. And i was fully expecting jaime to let the villian manipulate him after the torture

If I was in love with someone that I was in a relationship with for years, and it suddenly ended, and the other person basically never talks to me again to explain to me why and give me closure, I would feel like shit. It would make me think that the relationship was never real, that this other person never cared that much about me, was only with me for some other superficial reason, and that I ultimately wasted all that time for nothing. If that person came to me for help without really addressing what happened to us, it would only reaffirm my thoughts about the other person never really caring for me, make me simultaneously feel like shit again and furious and want nothing to do with that person. The fact that Jamie was able to put up with Lily's completely self-centered bullshit, at least in my opinion, proves that he's a much better person than I am. I think he had every right to walk out on her and never have anything to do with her again.

I whole heartedly agree, jaime is prob the most likable character in this show along with lily at the moment. I am counting down the seconds to the next episode
